Graduate Diploma in Radio and Podcasting

The Graduate Diploma in Radio and Podcasting is a hands-on and dynamic course for emerging broadcasters, podcasters, and radio producers. Audio storytelling is booming, but not all podcasts and broadcasts were created equal. Through specialised training and collaboration, in class and during live broadcasts, you will learn at an advanced level that the cornerstones of good content are communication, storytelling and knowing your audience.

The course is delivered in a stimulating and supportive learning environment that will prepare you for future roles in radio, podcasting and multi-platform broadcasting.

AFTRS offers this course full-time on campus, and part-time  online with optional on-campus broadcasts, so you can work full-time while you study remotely, from anywhere in Australia.
